Efforts At HIV Prevention Worldwide
During the early 1980s many countries began their quest to eradicate HIV. Since then, there have been great successes on the part of some, while others are sadly lacking. Part of the reason for those successes is due to focusing programs aimed at prevention on those groups at greatest risk. Gay and bisexual men in the United States were the first to receive attention from HIV prevention campaigns. Non-governmental organizations like San Francisco AIDS Foundation, Gay Men’s Health Crisis in New York, and AIDS Project Los Angeles first launched their attempts to reduce the incidence of AIDS in their cities somewhere around 1984. Of course the focus was intended for HIV prevention worldwide.
These AIDS organizations were pioneers in the field of working with men who found it difficult to develop lifestyle changes for the long haul. HIV prevention worldwide is dependent upon making sure those suffering from this disorder understand that practicing safer sex, and negotiating for safer sexual partnerships is necessary for preventing the continued spread of this disease. While this approach was successful for a time, there is evidence now that there is again a rise in the level of risky sexual behavior between homosexual men. This could be, in part, because the new HIV & AIDS drugs make it less frightening.

It should be cornerstone of life to get rid of risky behavior through improving living standard any how. For the greater involvement of vulnerable women in every aspect of curbing epidemic, they have to be able to respond to the epidemic in a meaningful manner.
In a society, if women and girls are not empowered to develop life skills they are severely vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. Gender discrimination, sexual violence, women trafficking, dowry, early marriage and low levels of reproductive health literacy are considered as key factors in the spread of STIs.
